Goodnight Saigon: The True Story of the U.S. Marines’ Last Days in Vietnam by Charles W. Henderson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 mb
Overview: Charles Henderson, Marine Corps veteran and author, chronicles the final days of America’s involvement in Vietnam through the voices of those who were there-and those who would never be heard again.
Genre: Non-Fiction > History
On January 17, 1973, the Paris Peace Accords concluded America’s involvement in Vietnam, supposedly ending decades of bloodshed. What took place, however, was far from peaceful-as the combined forces of the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong launched an all-out offensive to end the war with complete victory over the beleaguered south.
Here, culled from extensive interviews and research, are harrowing, never-before revealed accounts from people of every level and involvement in the Vietnam War-NVA and Viet Cong soldiers, U.S. embassy personnel, guerilla commanders, civilians, generals, double-agents, and leaders from both sides, including former president Gerald Ford and North Vietnamese military commander General Tran Van Tra.
From the impending invasion from the north, to the gut-wrenching hours before the fall of Saigon when a brave pilot defied orders and rescued the last five Marines from the roof of the U.S. embassy, this is the Vietnam War as it was: raw, brutal, tragic-and haunting to this very day.
